Came across this tool by the Invisible Institute as I was thinking about what ways technology could help with the ongoing issues with police brutality and accountability.
It looks like they partnered with USA today on a larger database as well. I'll be reaching out to the former to see if they have plans to develop an API. I imagine that would help this spread like wildfire and increase scrutiny.
Please use "Show HN" only for projects that are your own personal work (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html). I've taken that out of the title now. The submission was just fine otherwise.
We need an automated system that asks for feedback after every police encounter. If your name appears in a police report, you get a text. Responses could then be added to the database in an automated way. We already do this routinely for food deliveries, so surely the barrier is non-technical.
